Faisal, from Lodhran district, is only two feet tall and is known to be the world’s smallest man alive. Although it is not yet certified by the Guinness book of world records, people believe there is no other man shorter than him.
“I have millions of fans and I am thankful to them for liking me. It shows they love me as I have started making videos for only two months now,” says the 24 years old Tiktoker.
Faisal is currently studying in B.A and faces difficulties due to his unusual short height. “People are uneducated and they trouble me by gawking and saying, look it’s a Kodu (midget)”.
“I often think about why God has created me like this, why can’t I be like the rest of the people. I wish I had an average height,” he further added. Greeting people is a bit challenging as people have to bend down but those who cannot only shake hands.
Faisal has three siblings, two brothers and a sister who are all younger than him. His youngest brother is also like him and he is not gaining height as well. His sister is fine and has an average height. He has asked people to pray that his brother’s height increases.
Faisal’s father is a taxi driver by profession and strives to provide his children education. Because of such a short height, Faisal is unable to use public transport and faced difficulty going to and from college. Thus, the father and son travelled to Lahore and bought a four wheeled ATV.
Having millions of fans on TikTok, Faisal spends time with four of his best friends namely Chaudhry Waqas, Khalid Bhatti, Malik Shahid Maswan and Rashid Baloch. Only Waqas was not present with him during the interview as he was unavailable.

When asked from his friends about their friendship they replied that they do not make fun of Faisal but treat him as a normal person and they are always together. They also acknowledged that Faisal has a jolly and caring nature.
Wherever they go, people approach them with curiosity as all the friends are normally heighted and seeing Faisal among them looks funny.
The world’s shortest man’s hobbies include reading poetry and favorite poet is Shakir Shujabadi. His aim is to be an owner of a garment’s factory but due to his financial condition, it seems like a far-fetched idea.
Finally, when asked about his biggest ambition in life, Faisal candidly replies just like any other boy his age all he yearns for is marriage and he is unsure if any girl would want to marry him because of his peculiar height.
